The League shall be known as the Canadian Baseball League (CBL). The CBL was founded in 1973 in Canada,
with team managers in both Canada and the United States.

1.02League Goals

The CBL exists to promote enjoyment of baseball through participation in a friendly, stable league
that emphasizes sportsmanship, integrity, and accurate, timely reporting. It also provides team owners with the opportunity
to build a successful franchise over time through trades and/or the annual draft.

1.03Membership

1.03[a]
The CBL consists of twenty-four continuous ownership franchises, using actual major league baseball (MLB) team names
and organizations. The teams are divided into two Associations, the Gnitecki Association and the Wesenberg Association (named
after the two CBL founders, Richard Gnitecki and Bernhardt Wesenberg).

1.03[b]
Twelve teams are assigned to the Gnitecki Association and twelve teams to the Wesenberg Association. Each Association has
two Divisions with the teams evenly divided between them. The League Executive assigns teams to their Association and Division.
Geographic proximity and traditional CBL rivalries are used as factors in assigning teams.

1.03[c]
There shall be at least one manager per franchise. No person may manage two or more teams simultaneously except when necessary
on a temporary basis while a new manager is being recruited.

1.03[d] Each CBL Club shall pay yearly dues to cover administrative costs
involved in operating the CBL. The amount is determined annually by the CBL Executive, and is payable at the beginning of
the season schedule.

1.04Franchise switches

When
a CBL franchise becomes open, that franchise will be made available for 30 days to existing league managers, with priority
going on a seniority basis. Conditions are:

1.04[a]Effective in 1997, a CBL manager may make only one such switch during his CBL career.

1.04[b]If the open franchise is an existing team in the league, the switching manager may
either [i] give up his entire team assets (players, draft picks, and minor league protection list) and take on the open team’s
assets in total. Any future assets of either team that have been traded away will be adjusted by the League Executive for
fairness; or [ii] retain all current team assets and change franchise names only. From the point of the switch onward, minor
league picks would be made from the new franchise’s farm system.

1.04[c]If the open franchise is a major league team not currently owned in the CBL, the manager
may take his current CBL team roster and assume the open team’s identity. He must, however, leave the minor league roster
of his current team behind and accept the minor league system of the new team. Seven minor leaguers will be protected as an
initial minor league protected list.

1.05Game Product

1.05[a]The CBL uses the APBA master baseball game, or any computer version of the Miller
Associates APBA Baseball Game.

1.05[b]The final list of 30 players per MLB team carded by the APBA game company, plus
any uncarded players already on forty-man CBL rosters who appeared in the major leagues during the year, shall be available
for CBL play.

3 Regular Season Play

3.01Season

The data produced by the APBA Game Company from the previous MLB season shall be used to play the current
CBL season.

3.02Schedule

The schedule of play is developed by the League Executive and published on the league Web Site, and copies
are provided to each owner as needed. The schedule consists of 162 games, beginning and ending at approximately the same time
as the major league baseball season. Games between teams are organized into series of several games in a home-and-away format.

3.03 Rosters

3.03[a]Each CBL club will have a Total Team Roster of no more than 40 players who have received an APBA card in the current or a previous year.
This will include players on the Active (see 3.03[b]) and Reserve (see 3.03[c]) Rosters, but not players on the Minor League
Protected List (see 3.04). This limit must be maintained at all times except for the period beginning with the annual CBL
draft in February and ending with the submission of opening-day rosters in March. At any other time of year, if players are
added through trade or waiver pickup, the owner must release players by the end of the same day to return to the 40-man limit.

3.03[b]Each CBL club will establish an Active Roster of 25 players from the start of the season through approximately 130
games. Each club may carry up to 40 active players for the rest of the regular season (“September callups”).

3.03[c]Each CBL club may have a Reserve Roster
of up to fifteen players, so long as the maximum allowable Total Team Roster size (40) is not exceeded.

3.03[d]Players may be moved between the Active and Reserve Rosters prior to the start of
each full series, so long as the maximum allowable Active Roster size is not exceeded.

3.03[e]A player who does not receive an APBA card, after having received one in a previous
season, may nevertheless be used up to the level of his actual Starts, Innings Pitched, or Plate Appearances, if any, in the
major leagues during the past season, andwill remain on the Roster until traded or released.If the player
meets the statistical qualifications for unlimited status, (as per 3.06[b]7 and 3.06[c]2) he need not observe the limit of
actual Starts, Innings Pitched, or Plate Appearances.

3.03[f]Any player carded in the APBA game who is not
on a CBL Club roster is a free agent and is available to be selected in the annual CBL draft.

3.04 Minor League Protection Lists

3.04[a]In 1992, each CBL Club was allowed to establish a Minor League Protected List of seven minor league players from within the franchise who had never at that point
received an APBA card. On May 1st of each subsequent season, each club is allowed to add three additional minor
league (never carded) players to its protected list. Players remain on the CBL Club’s Minor League Protected List until
they are carded by APBA, traded by the CBL club, or released by the CBL club. When carded, these players are automatically
the property of the CBL Club on whose Protected List they appear.

3.04[b]Any minor league player not protected by a team prior
to being carded is a free agent, available in the next annual draft; except that if a player enters professional baseball
after May 1st and is carded in that same season, he may be claimed by the corresponding CBL Club, provided that
the CBL Club must use one of its three minor league protection spots from the following year to secure the player.

3.04[c]Until protected, a never-carded minor league player
is not the property of the CBL team and may not be traded.

3.05 Playing the Games

3.05[a]Games are played face-to-face when possible, and by the home team when face-to-face
play is not possible.

3.05[b]Each manager shall forward all appropriate instructions, play games, and forward appropriate
individual game statistics and series results on the dates required. Instructions should reach the home manager by seven days
prior to the date the series is scheduled to be completed. If no instructions are received within seven days after the due
date for the series, the home manager shall play the series using the instructions available on the Web Site. Games must be
played and results communicated to the visiting manager no later than fourteen days after the due date set for the series.

3.05[c]Each manager shall accurately compile statistics on each game played in the format
required by the League Executive.

3.05[d]Each manager shall, as far as possible, comply with all instructions of the visiting
manager, and manage the visiting team to its best advantage in situations where instructions are unclear or silent.

3.05[e] Each manager
shall supply for the League Web Site a set of Standard/Emergency Playing Instructions, both home and away, for each series
of the current season, prior to the start of the season. The Standard/Emergency Instructions must provide rotations, lineups,
and playing information. The Commissioner shall ensure that all Standard/ Emergency Instructions are available to every manager.

3.05[f]
If a home manager fails to complete a series within fourteen days of the due date, the Commissioner may designate a person
to play the series, using the Standard or Emergency Instructions.

3.06Player Use

3.06[a]Players may be used only as much in the CBL regular season as they played in real
life, as detailed below, except when defined as “unlimited”.

3.06[b]Pitchers

3.06[b]1Only a pitcher rated as a starting pitcher may start a game.

3.06[b]2A starting pitcher must have at least three games rest between starts. Consider the
road games to be played first, the home games last in each series for the purpose of establishing a pitching rotation.

3.06[b]3A starting
pitcher may not exceed the number of Starts, nor the number of Innings Pitched in the MLB season (except for Unlimited Pitchers
as allowed in Paragraph 3.06[b]7 below).

3.06[b]4A relief pitcher may not exceed the number of Innings Pitched during the MLB season
(except for Unlimited Pitchers as allowed in Paragraph 3.06[b]7 below), but is not limited as to Number of Relief Appearances.

3.06[b]5.1
A pitcher graded only as a starter by APBA may be used both as a starter and/or reliever in the CBL, but is limited to the
number of appearances. A start may be considered to represent two relief appearances for the purpose of calculating the allowable
appearances. The total innings pitched in the CBL cannot exceed the actual MLB innings. These limits apply except in the case
of pitchers defined as unlimited re: 3.06[b]7.

3.06[b]5.2 A pitcher graded by APBA as a split-grade starter/reliever is limited to actual number of starts
but is not limited in relief appearances as per above clause 3.06[b]4. The total innings pitched in the CBL cannot exceed
the actual MLB innings. These limits apply except in the case of pitchers defined as unlimited re: 3.06[b]7.

3.06[b]6A split grade
pitcher with the higher grade being 5 or greateris limited to the actual innings pitched.

3.06[b]7A starting pitcher, carded or uncarded, whose
grade is 4 or lower is limited to 36 starts and must observe the days of rest as in Paragraph 3.06[b]2, and any pitcher
whose grade is 4 or lower is not limited to Innings Pitched other than by Paragraph 3.06[b]6.

3.06[b]8A pitcher may bat only if he is pitching in the game, unless he is rated at a position
other than pitcher. Pitchers may not pinch-hit. A pitcher is allowed to pinch-run.

3.06[c]Position
Players

3.06[c]1Position
players may not exceed the number of Official Plate Appearances, excepting as provided in 3.06[b]2, nor the number of Stolen
Base Attempts recorded in the MLB season. There is no limit on Games Played.

3.06[c]2Position players, carded or uncarded, who meet all of the following criteria are considered
“unlimited” and are not restricted to any number of Plate Appearances:

[i] Batting Average of .240 or less

[ii] On Base Percentage of .300 or less

[iii] Slugging Percentage of .350 or less

[iv] None of the following defensive ratings: 8 or 9 at C;
4 or 5 at 1B; 8 or 9 at 2B; 5 or 6 at 3B; 9 or 10 at SS; 3 at OF.

3.06[c]3A manager may request Unlimited status for a non-productive position player who marginally
exceeds the criteria in Paragraph 3.06[c]2 if the manager has exhausted all means of trading for help. This designation may
be granted with the approval of the League Executive prior to the opening of the season.

3.06[d]Injuries: games missed due to injuries shall be limited
to no more than the remaining games in the half series (i.e. the home or away portion of the series) currently being played.

3.06
[e] Position players may not be used at positions for which they are not rated. The only exception is when injury or ejection
during a game leaves a team with no players rated at the position vacated by the player, in which case an unrated player may
be inserted to finish the game.

3.07Penalties for over-use of
players

3.07.1
Penalties for overuse of players beyond the established buffers (30 PA for batters, 5 SBA for base-stealers, 2 GS and 15 IP
for starting pitchers, and 7 IP for relief pitchers) will be determined by the Commissioner and graduated depending on the
severity of the overuse. Penalties may include loss of playoff status, loss or demotion of draft picks, or other penalties
as deemed by the Commissioner to be justified. In general, the penalty will be more severe when the overuse is more extreme
and/or involves better players. If there is any possibility that the overuse contributed to a team making the playoffs, that
team will be removed from the playoffs. Examples of typical penalty rationales are presented in the Supplement to the Constitution
at the end of this document. The Commissioner’s decision is final unless appealed within three days of receipt of notification.

3.07.2 The decision of the Commissioner may be appealed by the offending team or by any other manager to
the other members of the Executive (i.e. two presidents and the statistician) who will [a] uphold the ruling; [b] modify the
ruling; or [c] remove the penalty. The decision of this Appeal Committee is final.

3.08Rainouts and computer crashes

3.08[a]Rainouts shall follow the MLB rule; that is, if 5 innings are completed, the game
is an official game. If fewer than 5 innings are completed, the game is to be replayed.

3.08[b]In the event of a computer crash during a game, the game will be replayed in its entirety.

4Playoffs

4.01 Playoff Teams and Schedules

4.01[a] The team with the best won-loss record in each Division shall
qualify for the playoffs. Of the remaining teams in each Association, the two teams with the best won-loss records regardless
of division shall also qualify for the playoffs.

4.01[b]In the event of a
tie for the final playoff spot in an Association, the teams involved will play a best-of-three preliminary round.

4.01[c]Each playoff shall
consist of a best-of-seven series. The teams will use a 2-3-2 format, with the team with the superior record having the extra
home game except in the Canada Series. In the event of a tie among two or more of the four teams in the Association playoffs,
seedings will be determined by regular season head-to-head record; if still tied, each team’s record within its Division
shall be used; if still tied, the Commissioner shall supervise the flip of a coin.

4.01[d]In the first round,
the team with the best record in each Association shall play the team with the worst record in the Association regardless
of division.

4.01[e]The two teams that
win the first round series in each Association shall meet for the Association championship.

4.01[f]The Association champions
shall meet in the Canada Series for League championship. The Canada Series shall be a best-of-seven series. Home advantage
shall alternate between the Associations, with Wesenberg champions having the home advantage for odd-numbered CBL seasons
and Gnitecki champions having the home advantage for even-numbered CBL seasons.

4.02[a]Hitters are limited
in each series to a maximum of 1/15 of their MLB regular season Official Plate Appearances, if those Plate Appearances are
480 or less. Hitters with more than 480 PA’s are unlimited for the playoffs.

4.02[b]Relief pitchers are
limited in each playoff series to 1/10 of their MLB regular season Innings Pitched.

4.02[c]There is no limitation
on starting pitchers, excepting the requirement for three days rest between starts. As on real life, there is considered to
be an off-day when the series switches sites, so a starting pitcher may pitch Games 1, 4 and 7.

4.02[d]Uncarded players
are not eligible for the playoffs.

4.02[e]Injuries are limited
to the current segment of the playoff series at the site where the injury occurs.

4.03Reporting of Results

All statistics and box scores for the playoffs, championships and Canada
Series are to be submitted to the Commissioner.

5 Player Movement

5.01Annual Intra-League Draft

5.01[a]Each year there will be a draft of free agents and unprotected players, in February.
Each CBL Club shall submit a Total Team Roster of protected and unprotected players on the date established by the League
Executive.

5.01[b]Each CBL Club will be allowed to protect some of its players through the draft. The
size of the protected rosters will vary with the won-lost records over the previous two regular seasons combined. The six
clubs with the best records over the two year period will protect 18 players, the next six will protect 20, the next seven
will protect 22, and the seven clubs with the fewest wins will protect 24. The remaining players on each roster are available
for selection by other teams in the draft.

5.01[c]Each CBL Club may lose a maximum of three players in the draft.

5.01[d]
Draft choices will be exercised by CBL Clubs in reverse order of won-lost of
the combined previous two seasons.In case of tie(s) for drafting positions,
the League will go back an additional year to break the tie.

5.01[e]The draft will consist of five rounds. Remaining free agents may be dispersed following
the draft at the discretion of the League Executive, using the same order of selection as for the regular draft.

5.01[f]A team is allowed to draft a player from its own unprotected roster, but that player
is not counted as one of the three players lost to the team.

5.01[g]In an expansion year there will be a draft of free agents, but no draft of unprotected
players.

5.02Trades

5.02[a]Managers may trade players, draft choices, draft protection spots beyond the minimum number of 18 that each team must hold, minor league protection spots,
and protected minor league players.

5.02[b]An immediate exchange of players is not required. One side may include future considerations
to allow for the completion of compensation at some later date. The exact intention of the nature of the future considerations
is to be outlined as clearly as possible to avoid misunderstandings, and submitted in writing as part of the trade report
to the Commissioner.

5.02[c]
Trades may be made at any time during the year. To be effective, trades must be reported to the Commissioner and Webmaster
for inclusion on the Web Site list. The trade will then become official (e.g. the players will be considered to pass from
one team to another) for the series indicated in the trade report. All trades must be approved by the Commissioner, who may
cancel any trade deemed by him (her) to be improper or not in the best interests of the CBL.

5.02[d]Until notice of the trade appears on the Web Site, no player may appear for his new
team. Any attempts to use an unofficially traded player will result in the forfeiture of any game in which the player appears.

5.02[e]
A trading deadline in July is established each year by the Commissioner, after which no trades can be made that will be effective
for the current season.

5.02[f]No trades with a new manager are valid
unless all league managers have been informed, via the newsletter, of the new manager’s name, address, and phone number.

5.02[g]
“Future assets” (draft pick, draft or minor protection spots) may only be traded beginning January 1st of the
preceding calendar year.

5.03
[h] Draft protection spots for the next draft may not be traded until the current CBL regular season is complete, in order
to know for sure how many spots each team owns.

5.03 Free agent draft

5.03[a]At least
once during the year at a time other than February, the Executive shall conduct a draft of presently or previously carded
free agents.

5.03[b]Selection
order shall be the same as in the previous annual intra-league February draft, and the positions are not tradeable commodities.

5.03[c]The comprehensiveness
of the player list and the conditions for the draft will be established and amended from time to time by the Executive.

7.01[a]
The CBL managers shall vote annually on the following awards and honors within each Association:

[1]Pitcher of the Year

[2]Position Player of the Year

[3]Rookie of the Year

[4]Manager of the Year

[5]
All-Star team, including the starting nine players and the starting pitcher. The All-Star manager (previous season’s
Association champion) shall select the pitching staff and reserve players. The total All-Star team shall be 28 players. Each
club shall be represented by at least one player.

7.01[b]In voting, no manager shall vote for players on his/her own team.

7.02All-Star Game

The
League shall have an annual All-Star game between the Associations at a site selected by the officers. The site shall alternate
each year between Association clubs, with the Wesenberg Association hosting the game in even-numbered CBL seasons and the
Gnitecki hosting the game in odd-numbered CBL seasons.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE CBL CONSTITUTION

PENALTY
GUIDE FOR PLAYER OVER-USE

When a team exceeds
the buffer zone beyond actual mlb use for a player, the Commissioner will apply penalties as they fit the situation, mitigating
the application of the "typical" penalties when necessary. The following describes what some typical penalties will be:

elimination from the playoffs if there is any chance the overuse would have helped the team make the playoffs (overuse
from the max is considered, not just the overuse beyond the buffer)

overused player will always be ineligible for the playoffs even if the team is allowed to participate

overuse by 31-60 PA or 16-25 IP (for SP’s) or 8-12 IP (for RP’s) or 3-5 GS or 6-10 SBA will result
in a drop of 15 places for a draft pick of the Commissioner’s choice (1st thru 5th depending on quality of player overused
and extent of overuse)

overuse by 61+ PA or 26+ IP (for SP’s) or 13+ IP (for RP’s) or 6+ GS or 11+ SBA will result in loss
of a draft pick of the Commissioner’s choice (1st thru 5th depending on quality of player and extent of overuse)

overuse of multiple players would result in multiple penalties or a more severe single penalty

Examples:

The penalties for
the 2002 CBL season would have been as follows, had this rule been in place:

1.Baltimore: mistakenly overused FP Santangelo by 73 PA, believing him to be unlimited
when he was in fact slightly better than the criteria specified for unlimited status. Since Santangelo was the poorest offensive
player on the team, and other options could have been used on the roster that would, if anything, have resulted in a better
record, the penalty for this overuse would have been loss of a draft pick, likely a fifth rounder. Baltimore would have remained
in the playoffs, but Santangelo would have been ineligible.

2.Montreal: exactly the same error as Baltimore i.e. overused Wilkerson by 300 PA, believing
him to be unlimited. Again, no advantage from the standpoint of wins was attained by using this poor offensive player. The
overuse was more extreme, and the penalty would then be slightly more severe, likely a third rounder. Montreal would have
retained its playoff status, but Wilkerson would not be able to play.

3.Toronto: overused a starting pitcher, Randy Wolf, by 18.2 innings. Since Toronto tied
for the wild card spot, and the overuse potentially could have resulted in one or more wins during the season (in this case
it is likely that more wins came from his usage), Toronto would be removed from the playoffs, and a second round pick would
be dropped fifteen spots.

4.New York Yankees: overused a baserunner, Derek Jeter, by six steal attempts (the buffer
is five). Since the Yanks also tied for the wild card, and since it is conceivable that Jeter’s six extra steal attempts
led to one or more extra wins, New York would be eliminated from the playoffs. There would be no further penalty.

5.Cincinnati: same as the Yanks, overused Jeff Frye by six steal attempts. Since they
were only in the position to make the playoffs because of the other disqualifications, they would also be removed. No further
penalty would be applied.

6.Texas: overused two hitters by 26 AB each. The team did not make the playoffs, and the
overuse was not of a magnitude that other options would have resulted in a lower win total. This would normally be the dropping
of a pick by 15 spots for each player, for a total drop of 30 spots, but for a rookie the drop would be only half of the penalty.
The level of pick dropped would vary with the quality of the player(s) involved, in this case likely a third rounder (average
players).

To expand the scenario
and provide other examples, suppose that Toronto had been in the playoffs, ten games clear of the best non-playoff team and
one game ahead of another wild-card team. Since the Jays would undoubtedly have made the playoffs even had a D been used instead
of Wolf for the 18.2 innings, but since the other wild card team might have finished ahead of the Jays, Toronto would remain
in the playoffs, and the penalty would be [a] loss of home-field advantage in the playoffs; and [b] dropping of a draft pick
by 15 spots. Depending on how much of a real penalty the home-field loss is (it could be a non-factor if the Jays would have
had no advantage anyway), the pick would be either a first or a second rounder, since this transgression involved a good player.

NOTE: The idea of
dropping the offending team, Toronto, to the bottom of the playoff seeding list, was considered, thus forcing them to play
a better team in the first round, but that would be a slight penalty to the first-place team as well, and since they earned
the right to meet the playoff team with the fewest wins this seems unfair to them to give them a (possibly) better team to
have to meet.
